Ware Cup
Loughton
11th December 2021
Loughton AC hosted the annual Ware Cup championship at Roding Valley on 11 December 2021.
Although late notice of the event meant that usual entrants from IAC were depleted, three athletes from IAC made the journey to compete.
A challenging course of 4.8 miles of undulating ground soft with surface water and mud awaited Frieda Keane, Seb Parris and Danny Holeyman. The three entrants equipped themselves well with Seb Parris completing the course in a very respectable time of 30.52 in 13th place, Danny Holeyman in 23rd place in 31.53 and Frieda Keane completing the course in 47.41 in 102nd place.
